The Red Hook Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Red Hook

Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting  approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

We examine using Motion Palpation. Palpation is to examine a patient by touching. Static palpation (no movement) found only high and low spots, left and right. Motion adds nuances and subtleties and reveals problems that static cannot find. It makes our adjustments more accurate, and gives us a better way to post-check to make sure we've done all that is possible each visit. I've been using Motion Palpation since 1984.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Dr. Ford Asks some important questions of interest to Red Hook residents - Chiropractor Red Hook Dr. Ford Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Red Hook and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Is average normal or is normal average?
Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our Red Hook patients.
